Hello,

okay, here it is:

http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_configure_and_use_libata_SATA_/_PATA_d=
rivers

I placed a link to it on the page

http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/HOWTOs_-_Driver_Installation

under the new heading "Storage devices (harddisk, cdroms)"

=46eel free to edit, discuss or move to somewhere else if you find a more=20
suitable place for it.

I do not understand the categories system, feel free to add the right=20
categories system. Should it be added to the T23 and T42 categories? Well=20
I only tested it there, but it should work on many other thinkpads,=20
possibly all but the olded ones.

Regards,
